Head to Head - The Shop
August and Christie left The Shop for their head-to-head, knowing that one of them wouldn’t be coming back. At the warehouse Brendan revealed the challenge: creating a piece of furniture that would fit perfectly at their property. Having first choice of materials, August selected to construct his with timber, leaving Christie to use glass. With first choice of contestants to help him, August picked Michael, Jarrad, Jason, Luke and Sam, while Christie was assisted by Peter, Mel, Keenan, Natalia and Nathan. Arriving at the timber yard to begin building, August’s clear vision helped him forge confidently ahead. Christie struggled to realise her initial ideas given the time-sapping process of moulding glass. Both managed to complete stylish pieces – August a cabinet, Christie a table – but the former proved a better size for The Shop, sending its maker into the Top 6.
